The biggest present comes in the smallest box.
We've been together for 9 years, as a young couple, many of our friends are teasing us when are we getting married. Although I'm sure that one day EJ will come to propose to me hehehe I had no idea what to feel and expect, and when, how he will ask that very sweet, "Will you marry me?" question.
We're on holiday last month. that time my mind was full of Cebu stuff, our hotel, itineraries, making sure that all is well, etc. I didn't notice that he was actually
Saturday, December 27, 2014, we were at Sumilon, Island in Cebu. We went to Bluewater Sumilon Island after our whale sharks encounter at Oslob, Cebu. The experience was really great although we don't know how to swim. The island is a paradise, the water is crystal clear. It was not crowded as we expected it to be and the buffet lunch is superb.
After lunch, we walked around near the seashore. The place was calmed, relaxed, on the beach was only the two of us. We were taking lots of selfies. He leaves his camera to capture video and I don't have an idea that he will propose next. We stood near the beach, watching the sea and listening to the shore breeze. Not even for a second did I expect that beautiful scene was about to become one of the most meaningful moments of our lives. In fact, I was so surprised when EJ got down on one knee, I put down my knee on the sands as well. I was completely blank! I thought he will confess something on me or he will tell me a problem.
EJ: Hon, may sasabihin ako sayo...
Glaiza: Anu yon hon..
(Bigla siyang lumuhod, sumunod din ako - napaupo ako)
EJ: (Natatawa) Tumayo ka hon
Glaiza: Bakit hon.. (nag-aalalang tanong ko)
And, then, I saw he opened his hand holding the ring.
Omg! There was an uncontrollable emotion of happiness and excitement inside of me that I can't explain. I didn’t have any words, I just said, "Yes!". I was speechless and happy I cried.
The whole day we were just hanging out and having fun. I can't wait to spread the news and I posted on Facebook and Instagram.
Being engaged actually does feel a lot different. I feel like we were more mature. We started talking about our future much now. I noticed him becoming sweeter. I love EJ so much.
Every time I look down to see my engagement ring there's something inside my head which I can't explain. It is very beautiful. One time, inside the church, EJ caught me staring at my ring and I saw him smiling big time.
On Facebook, our picture posted announcing our engagement hit many likes. The shower of love from our family and friends, plus the support from all them been overwhelming.
I’m so very grateful.
xoxo,
